Raytheon Launches ReliabilityAnalysisLab.com to Deliver Need-to-Know Product Analyses Via the Web

    LEXINGTON, Mass., Dec. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon Company (NYSE: RTN) has
announced the launch of ReliabilityAnalysisLab.com to put advanced electronic
component analysis services into the hands of the world's design engineers,
manufacturing organizations, and testing laboratories.
    ReliabilityAnalysisLab.com (RAL) provides its customers with 24/7 access
to product reliability reports and in-process analyses performed by the lab on
a wide range of electronic products -- from microprocessors and discrete
components to printed circuit boards and assemblies.
    "These services benefit our internal and external customers who rely on
our design and testing services to enhance the products they develop," said
Gerry Zimmerman, vice president, Product Assurance for Raytheon's Command,
Control, Communication and Information Systems unit.

    ReAct Online
    The heart of ReliabilityAnalysisLab.com is ReAct Online, a new system that
uses secure extranet connections to integrate a customer-friendly Web site
with RAL's internal laboratory information management system. ReAct Online is
a component analysis service that provides customers with quick and easy
access to their analysis data and reports via the Web.
    "When a manufacturer's production line goes down because a product defect
has been found, there is no time to waste," said Bill Tice, manager of the
Reliability Analysis Laboratory. "By taking RAL's product testing services to
the Web, we can provide design and manufacturing and instant access to product
testing data. With this information, production is back online sooner."
    With ReAct Online, the results of product tests are securely posted online
along with images captured by the RAL's sophisticated instruments, such as
scanning electron microscope (SEM) and electron spectroscopy for chemical
analysis (ESCA) systems. RAL's engineers enter results into the system as soon
as they are available. Customers can read and download their analysis data and
communicate with the RAL staff via the Web.
    ReAct Online provides a variety of services, including review of status
and funding levels for on-going work orders; view and download of completed
work, including interim and final analysis reports; and review of historical
project information, including prior work orders. ReAct Online also allows
customers to collaborate with the RAL's engineers for detailed
interpretations, cause and effect analyses, and design and manufacturing
brainstorming sessions.
    With headquarters in Lexington, Mass., Raytheon Company is a global
technology leader in defense, government, and commercial electronics, as well
as business and special mission aircraft.
